Varamar Group has launched what it claims to be the first independent online platform for the global freight market, to save time and money for users in the shipping industry, Ukraine.

In phase one, Sipnext, endorsed by Baltic and International Maritime Council and 4270 European investment bank Dragon Capital, uses software to read an emailed cargo request or ship position and match cargos with ships using 70 various databases and algorithms, minimising human error. It also carries out route checks and calculates ship and port data, distances, restrictions, risk zones and rules of carriage by sea.

The next phases will be rolled out over the next 18 months with shipnext integrating various aspects and sectors of the market from tendering and negotiations, contract management, reporting, post fixing and operations. It will also provide banks with real-time charter rates, statistics and analysis.
